Is anyone else having problems with Namedrive?

Does bodis do that annoying recalculation thing?

I just signed up with a latin idn with great traffic and so far so good.

No recalculation thing with Bodis.

@Clotho - I think you mistook me for someone else, I currently do not have any Japanese domain name parked at Bodis and haven't used Voodoo either so can't comment on it.

Cheers!

By the way, has anyone tried Voodoo with Thai IDNs? What`s the response like compared to Bodis, Namedrive or other providers?

TIA!

[gammascalper]

Thanks Jay.

Another thing bodis needs to do is convert the domain name in the <title> tags into unicode, especially useful for the pages that turn up in SERP.

I believe ParkingCrew is best for Japanese IDNs. I tested them against Bodis, and ParkingCrew were clearly better (although they weren't superior for other languages). I have Steve Clarke to thank for that tip.

I am at the end of the rope. You have 48hrs to convince me to continue doing business.

If anyone is having problems with stats please email me directly parking@namedrive.com please include the subject IDN Forum. Please include both your user name here and NameDrive log in so I know that everyone has been helped.
We have had a couple of instances this week with names being blocked with our advertising partner and therefore will not convert. But as far as I am aware those concerned have been notified.

Thanks

Craig

Update:

I have redirected 1500 names today to Bodis.

Rest will be going across just as soon as I am satisfied that they are doing the business.

I have had 8 years of people pissing on me from a great height.

Patience is a scarce commodity.

hmm i think they just fixed the problem. Im seeing numbers there now.
word travels fast i see.

[jose]

Same here. Random figures? LOL

[Clotho]

It was the same with me but now there are figures there.

Google seems to be blacklisting more of my domains everyday. Even poor regular English domains are getting blacklisted.

I have a generic English .net that received a whole 8 views in the past year and it got blacklisted.

I need to find someone with a feed other than Google. Any ideas?

Hi all,

We’ve been experiencing problems with the statistic updates for May 17th and 18th from our ad provider. This is apparently a system wide problem all parking companies had to deal with. The revenue shown on domain base for these days is only our internal data which is getting updated at the moment with the data from Google.
We are working on resolving this issue as quick as possible.
Your parking and revenue will not be affected at any point.

I apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

Best Regards,
Indra

Hi Indra,

I could care less about the chump change those two days now represent. I am more interested in what your plans are moving forward. You are losing money just as we are. If I were to guess I would say you have much more at stake than any one of us does. The only thing that is going to help you at this point is communication yet my emails go unanswered.

It would be wise if you could inform us what your plans are. Obviously Google has little interest in providing our customers with ads. What are you doing to fill the gap?

[alpha]

I just noticed another 5 domains are now in my NameDrive blocked folder, and one of them was previously with AFD for months - Googles hypocrisy is astonishing.

If my domains are going to be randomly blocked, and Namedrive has no way of informing me when it happens, and when it does happen there will simply be no alternative ads served, then I have no choice but to completely abandon Namedrive for another parking provider.

[jose]

Guess I was right about the random figures, lol.

@alpha It's what you get when you have so many TM names, lol.

I don't get it Alpha, even if you're told the minute a name is put on the blocklist, will it change anything?

Google does the blocking which means the name is blocked across all parking cos that use their feed.
